Description

If you need flexibility for your Crane project, then these Gantry crane plans have the options.  Choose your crane height, width, and lifting capacity.  Plans include Engineering graphs and charts showing choices for the main beam, beam length, and for the legs – with all the variations of crane capacity.  Make your gantry crane large or small, from Steel or Aluminum, wide or narrow, heavy duty or lightweight, adjustable or fixed.  All the engineering data is there.

Adjustable legs telescope in and out to extended or compact the available top beam height – within limits, of course.  Move the top beam up for some jobs, and drop it down for others – or to put it away in your shop.  And, the plans have a design for the wheels to help make it safe.

These Gantry Crane Plans include a full Materials List with all the options for your choice of materials and size.  This design is flexible so you can build your new gantry crane with these plans, and make it fit your needs!

These gantry crane plans are excellent for big lifting, because the plans include so many options for both size and capacity.  The crane is intentionally adjustable for ease of use throughout your shop, or disassemble it for transport or storage.  Best of all . . . You Can Build It Yourself !

More About The Design Features

More About The Design Features

This up-sized crane is an extension to our very popular Mobile Overhead Crane.  However, by customer request, this version shows ways to build it larger, taller, wider, and with options for higher capacity.  It also includes options for aluminum.  This design keeps the telescoping legs for flexibility allowing beam clearance to adjust vertically (depending on choice of sizes).  Heights from 6.8 ft – 10 ft with the small size, or from 9.5 ft – 15 ft with the largest size — AND, size options in-between.  (Or, check out the Perfect Size Garage Crane Plans for a crane that fits a typical 7′ overhead garage door.)

Width options range from a 10 ft to 30 ft, using I-Beam sizes from 5″ to 10″.*

Construction requires steel cutting, welding and drilling.
Load Capacity is (depending on options) from 1,000 to 6,000 lbs*  See notes.

Engineering Considerations:

Crane capacity is a function of the height, width, and beam options.  Plans include several graphs showing the effects of beam type, length and under beam clearance with instructions for choosing.  Since these plans cover a wide range of options, prepare for some figuring.  You will need to know the required load, span width, and how tall (and short) the crane must be.


Mobile Gantry Crane PlansPlans include instructions with lots of illustrations, a List of Materials, and Construction Hints for building the crane.

  1. Our “Winching Pole” & Load Leveler are perfect tools for many gantry cranes.  (May require some variation not work so well with cranes over 10 ft tall.)

Alternate Sizes & Conversions

Alternate Sizes & Conversions

3 Gantry Crane Sizes

  1. The Mobile Gantry Crane, (which is actually our most popular).
  2. A Perfect Size Garage Crane just barely fits under as standard 7′ tall garage door.
  3. The Up-Sized Gantry Crane Plans which has the data to make a larger gantry crane at the size you need.  (Within limits, of course.)

All have similar construction, but each design focuses on the intended place of use.  All have adjustments with sizing to meet your needs.  Admittedly, there is overlap with sizes, so you won’t go wrong if you’re not quite sure which plans to buy.

Raise & Lower the Top Beam with Ease

Crane Crank ConversionBuild your crane with a winch driven leg extender.  This conversion makes lifting and lowering the top beam easy.  One person can do it.

Plans show how to convert our other gantry crane plans.  They include the drawings and instructions as well as material and component lists to build it just like in the image.  (Colors are optional.)

Conversion plans are sold separate.  You will need both the Crane Plans and these Top Beam Lifter Conversion Plans.
